Supervisors Area

A supervisor s office may be a separate room, although an area with partitions extending part-way to the ceiling is often just as satisfactory and less expensive. In addition, such partitioning offers the bonus of valuable extra wall space. A large window between office and laboratory is recommended for good supervision of activities. Since books and reference materials are often kept in this office, adequate space for shelves must be provided. In a small laboratory without much interference, the supervisor may simply need a desk in a corner of the room.

Laboratory The laboratoiy requirements and responsibilities need to be identified and accepted. The laboratoiy supervisor must be aware of the impending test and the hkely demands placed on his/her area of responsibihty. Agreement as to error levels and expected turnaround must be reached. Proper sampling methodology and storage must be established and practiced. 

Prepare as appropriate written rules for work in designated areas and appoint Radiation Protection Supervisors. 

Forty-hour training was required for personnel entering the exclusion zone, and additional supervisory training was required for site supervisors. Site control procedures described in the Site C contractor s SSAHP included maintenance of site control logs at each access point, use of red tape or chainlink fencing to demarcate hot zones, and use of the buddy system in all exclusion and contamination reduction zone areas. Site communications relied almost exclusively on visual sighting of employees the plan did not describe the use of two-way radios. This suggested that all employees in hot zones can be observed continuously from the support zones. 

Nonroutine work eondueted in proeess areas must be eontrolled by the employer in a eonsistent manner. The hazards identified involving the work to be aeeomplished must be eommunieated to those doing the work and to those operating personnel whose work eould aflfeet the safety of the proeess. A work authorization notiee or permit must follow a proeedure that deseribes the steps the maintenanee supervisor, eontraetor representative, or other person needs to follow to obtain the neeessary elearanee to start the job. The work authorization proeedures must referenee and eoordinate, as applieable, loekout/tagout proeedures, line breaking proeedures, eonfined spaee entry proeedures, and hot work authorizations. This proeedure also must provide elear steps to follow onee the job is eompleted to provide elosure for those who need to know the job is now eompleted and that equipment ean be returned to normal. 

Further investigations showed that all permits issued asked for goggles to be worn, even for repairs to water lines in safe areas. The mechanics therefore frequently ignored this instruction and the supervisors and foremen tolerated this practice. 

Interview Individual personnel at the following levels from at least two shifts on each platform were interviewed offshore installations manager, operations supervisor, shift supervisor, control room technician, area technician. 

The engineer or supervisor responsible for planned maintenance may issue the work dockets on an individual, daily or weekly basis. When issued on a weekly basis, the technician/craftsman responsible for a specific plant room or departmental area can then plan how the work should be programmed throughout the week, having gained experience in identifying which plant and equipment and also in which area planned maintenance can be worked on or at specific periods of the week. 

On emergency shutdowns or any outage with less than five days planning time, planning should prepare a rough estimate (RE) for the job and issue a blank work plan with the appropriate work orders. Planning will not order miscellaneous parts, materials, tools, etc. this will be the responsibility of the assigned supervisor and area planner. 

Ask a supervisor what to do with old or unused chemicals in your work area. 

The problems of the Laboratory of Neonatology are unique and distinct in many details from those of the general clinical chemistry laboratory. This requires a separate operation coordinated with the operation of the Pediatric Department of the hospital. It requires a highly sophisticated Chemist at the doctorate level as supervisor, trained in this area to insure that the results are meaningful and to supervise and accelerate the development of the techniques in this area. Developments in this direction are already taking place rapidly. The Committee on Pediatric Chemistry of the American Association of Clinical Chemists is now active in developing the list of normal values for the infant. 

Strength Personnel initially isolated the incident scene and surrounding area through conservative estimation by the ACSO shift supervisor. DOT Emergency Response Guide was used to determine 1.5 mile radius as initial protective isolation distance. Electronic version to be added to CP (Command Post) laptops. Key representatives of fire, law enforcement and emergency services at Command Post actively discussed evacuation versus shelter-in-place. 

Improvement Item ACEMS supervisor was not present at initial Command Post (CP). Local/National Red Cross point of contact needed at the CP to coordinate food for personnel in outlying areas. National Red Cross may be needed in the EOC (Emergency Operation Center). EPA personnel were initially unaware that the Aiken County EOC was operational. Aiken County GIS resources were not involved in UCP planning meetings. ACEMS observed additional EMS support arrive from outside Aiken County. Additional units were not coordinated with ACEMS. Large numbers of individuals at the CP did not... 

Improvement Item ACEMS attempted to medical monitor other responders, but they were entering incident area without EMS coordination. Triage tags were not utilized, although they were available. The on-duty EMS supervisor must relinquish control of outside incidents and focus on major incident being responded to. 

Strength ACEMS supported three separate decon sites with medical monitoring. Due to overwhelming number of calls for assistance being received from Graniteville area, decision was made to enter with Level-B suits by Haz-Mat technician-level EMS personnel. Decision to not transport patients prior to decontamination was made by ACEMS Shift Supervisor. 

The catalyst preparation area supervisor, on-duty control room operator for the catalyst operation, and maintenance superintendent were key sources of information. Their written records and logs were examined in detail. Other personnel that were interviewed included two outside operators, fire brigade members, and associated maintenance employees. During these conversations, special attention was paid to nonverbal signals. The interview process generated several unanswered questions about operational and maintenance procedures that required further study. 

The plant fire brigade and the local volunteer fire department were notified by the supervisor of the catalyst preparation area by 11 12 A.M. On their arrival to the scene of the fire at 11 15 A.M., the plant fire brigade saw the lead outside operator down about 40 feet from the fire, in between the catalyst preparation area and reactor building No. 1. They also found a seriously burned unknown person about 120 feet from the fire, near the finishing building. (This person was eventually determined to be a service contractor who entered the premises at 10 30 A.M. to calibrate equipment in the instrument house for Reactor No. 1.)... 

The commander at each level and contractor supervisors are responsible for implementation of an integrated management system based on the Army Chemical Surety Program and contract reqnirements. The program specifies accountability for the chemical agent inventory and controls access to storage and processing areas (U.S. Army, 20000-... 

Persons ill or having opened or bandaged wounds should inform the supervisor and should not be allowed in the clean room areas. 

For each cleanliness class in the injectable preparation area (e.g., class 100, class 10,000, and class 100,000), alert limits will be half the number of particles allowed of 0.5 and 5.0 pm for each area. Area supervisors shall be immediately notihed verbally of particles exceeding the alert limit (in any of the three readings) in any area for corrective action. 

After completion of visual inspection by manufacturing, QAI will perform (a) the review of printout of cold leak test carried out by production and (b) the visual inspection. See SOP (provide number). He gives the release for packing if the results are satisfactory. QAI will fill the optical inspection report attachment no. 1700.30(G) and 1700.30(H) for each batch optically inspected and for leakage. When packaging of the batch starts, the production supervisor will request the area QAI for line clearance. The QAI will check the area and countersign the line clearance given by the supervisor. See attachment no. 1700.30(B).
